I've had roughly 100% success rates just asking the driver to stop idling, no need for calls they know the score.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to be an unpaid regulatory enforcement agent.

Understood -- usually my goal is to get the truck to stop idling outside my window because it makes my head hurt, walking outside and asking nicely is quicker than calling and waiting for enforcement to show. If your goal is to spare environmental pollution rather than noise pollution then the same logic probably applies. Frankly the process is probably quicker than actually reporting it anyhow. YMMV.

You are so close to realizing that your situation is not the same one everyone else is in. I'm talking about far more than one one restaurant/bar and far more than one truck, multiple times throughout the week.
